Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

this photograph is the result of digitally averaging every Playboy centerfold foldout for the 10 years beginning Jan. 1988 through Dec. 1997. The shroud-like image is yielded by a simple, custom process: point-by-point mathematical averaging. No special "morphing" is used.

Work-safe (this page, anyway). Sorta' looks like the shroud of Turin. [link]

eta: What's interesting is that you can make out a head and hair, which means that Playboy centerfolds tend to have the model's head in the same place in each centerfold photo.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Dang, this is the morning of slacker ennui, isn't it? Or are most b.org mornings like this and I'm just too busy to read it?

As Arthur Dent once said: "It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of thursdays."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Crime makes you stupid: [link]

Arizona authorities this week charged suspected members of a criminal ring thought responsible for 10 per cent of all fake money in the state after some members sent a printer, jammed with counterfeit bills, out for repair.

Strega, will you write me a note for work? I just don't wanna go.

You're already at a computer. You're upright and everything! The rest is easy. I couldn't get out of bed for two hours after I woke up. I finally convinced myself to come in by deciding that I could leave early on Friday. So you can do that, too.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

As Arthur Dent once said: "It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of thursdays."

This is why I take Fridays off whenever I can and turn my Thursdays into Fridays. Easy peasy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This book is people:

As long as I don't actually think about it, there's a nice dotty sort of 19th-century leave-your-body-to-science-ness about that. And I know exactly what to do the next time I'm presented with the hide of a dear friend who's been flayed by the vicious heathen savages . (Whitefonted for the squeamish. As if you couldn't have guessed.)

Except that it lacks naked Ewan.
